Before looking into civil engineering in specific within these colleges, Amity is definitely much more renowned than Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangalore. Considering the NIRF ranking of Amity over past years, which always managed to stay around 30, it is one of the top private institutes in India. On the other hand, Acharya is known to be a good college in Bangalore city.

Fee Structure:

How good the college might be one will always take the fee amount into consideration before selecting the college.

The average annual fee in Amity is around INR 3.11 Lakhs and that of Acharya is also around INR 3 Lakhs. But the first year fee in Acharya is around 6 lakhs while for the rest of the years being around INR 1.8 Lakhs. The overall amount remains nearly the same, it’s about affordability here.

Placements:

Getting placed in a core company from campus is rare sight unless you’re in the premier institutes. It’s not the case with Amity. There are around 11 companies specifically recruiting civil engineering graduates.

• While there are some civil department-specific placements in AIT, students mostly get placed in IT and Software companies.

• The Average package at AIT is around 7 LPA, it’s around 4.5 LPA at Amity, considering 1700 placed students and 525 recruiters for that year, and those are some good placement stats.

• Few core companies that recruit from Amity are Eleation, ZTE, Gemalto, etc.

Amity also has a Departmental Research cell concentrating on various aspects of civil engineering and its recent advances.

So, if one is choosing between AIT and Amity, it’s a clear choice that going with Amity would result in better opportunities and Core company placements. The presence of a research cell facility is always a welcome addition for students looking for higher studies after B. Tech.

PES University was ranked as the 6th best private university out of 50 universities in India by outlook in 2019. It is also ranked 93 for private engineering by NIRF 2020. The college is recognized by UGC, AICTE, and AACSB. It is one of the top private universities in Bangalore. The high rankings of the college don’t show the poor placements which the college has offered in the past year.

Placements:

• As compared to the previous years, the placements offered at PES University in core companies are fewer in number for the academic year 2019.

• Companies visit the college, but many of the students opting for higher students opt-out for the placements. Making the placement percentage high because of the fewer students present at the placement.

• There were a number of companies that recruited students. But in recent years the placement of the college in the Civil Engineering course has not been up the mark as promised by the college.

However, if you have a keen interest in Civil engineering, then you should not change their branch. Placements are not the only thing that needs to be focused on. Changing the branch will also not make any much difference as both the courses EEE and Civil Engineering provide more or less the same average package that is Rs 3-4 LPA. However, keep in mind that in recent times, there are also other colleges that are not able to fulfill the promised core placements for Civil.

Although Civil Engineering has poor core placements, there are many non-core companies which allow the students of Civil to sit for the placement. The average CTC offered by the non-core IT companies visiting the campus for the placement drive is 10 LPA.

Therefore, a student should keep in mind all the factors when changing a branch and not solely look at placements.

Both the branches are totally different from each other so first decide what you want to study for the next 4 years. Both the IITs are new and there is not much difference in them. Metallurgy is a sub-branch of mechanical and civil is a core branch. Civil engineering has better job opportunities if you compare it to metallurgy engineering.

The average package at IIT Indore for the year 2019 was 16.05 LPA and at IIT Bhubaneswar it was 11.44 LPA. If you want to get a job in the core-sector then it would be a bit difficult because both the branches have very low placements in the core sector. Students usually go for higher studies and others for non core placements. Civil engineering will give you a better opportunity if you want to go for higher studies.

The suggestion will be that you should focus on what branch you are more passionate about and choose that. Don’t go compare colleges, both are IITs therefore are equally good and offer similar facilities.

B.tech. in Civil engineering is a flagship program of DTU.
